Feast of St. Martin de Porres
“Everything, even sweeping, scraping vegetables, weeding a garden and waiting on the sick could be a prayer, if it were offered to God.”
-St. Martin de Porres
Today's Reflection:
Prayer of St. Martin de Porres
In life’s daily struggles I sometimes feel bewildered and alone.
So I turn to you, St. Martin, my friend and companion,
to intercede for me before God.
Please pray for (mention your intention).
Most of all, ask for the grace that I may live the Gospel.
May God grant me your humility, Martin,
so that I always do His will.
Dearest Father, in the name of your Son, Jesus,
and by the power of the Holy Spirit,
guide me as I face the challenges of life.
Give me Martin’s sense of service
so that I may be a blessing to all whom I meet. Amen.
St. Martin de Porres, pray for us!
